Identifying a tab in .doc

[kyopedlr <ky...@yahoo.com>]

Greetings All.

I am having some issues using the WordExtractor to remove content from my
word document. When I use:

"
HWPFDocument doc = new HWPFDocument( stream );
WordExtractor word = new WordExtractor(doc);
word.getText();
"

It removes the tabs I have placed in the beginning of any paragraphs in my
word document. It does matter if I have one or two tabs in the beginning of
the paragraph. It seems to be triming the entire paragraph.

Is there anyway to eliminate the trim or detect the tabs in the
HWPFDocument?

Thanks.

If you want full control over the text you get, I'd suggest you don't use 
the WordExtractor. Instead, get the paragraphs from the HWPFDocument 
directly, and fetch the text (and any formatting you want) from those. 
That way you get complete control
